good board for an old Duron 750?

Don't need a lot of built-in goodies; if I decide to build a system around this I'm just going to use it as a file server. Suggestions?

I like to use the PC-Chips M811 as a new home for orphan socket-A processors. That plus some equally leftover AGP card of any age, and you're sorted - with higher performance than mainboards with integrated graphics give you.

The *only* board I've had die on me in the last few years was a Socket-A PC Chips board 🙁

EDIT: I take that back - it was an ECS (old K7-S5A). I thought these two were basically one and the same, though.

Get a simple board ECS/PC CHIPS mobo with a 32mb Radeon 7000 AGP4x - which will give you nice visual performance without any of the graphics trash that budget nVidia cards cradle up. I'd say for RAM, at least 512mb to kill most bottlenecks with memory, but 1 gig if you want to future proof it.
